Akayuki’s notes:Omote – Book Cover. As usual, a play of words here in “Omote” and “Otome”, the cover has ShizNat from Mai HiME but the story’s in the Mai Otome Universe setting. ‘A Chaotic Copy Book’ – I’m not sure about this sentence here.

*Shizu Natsu Only Book*

*Omote Unlabelled . An Otome Inside.*

[Arrow] *Title.*

Shizuru: Doropanda Tours.

Natsuki: Year 2008 . Winter!!

*A Chaotic Copy Book.*

Shizuru: Well then, Natsuki and Mai-san.--- I’ll see you at noon break.

Mai: Yes, see you later, Shizuru-san!!

Natsuki: … Please excuse us, Onee-sama.

Mai: However … as I thought, Shizuru-san is a really charismatic woman huh.--- @Let’s not talk about what her true character is (laughs).@

-Dazed

Natsuki: Aah …

Mai: A feminine appearance with a touch of elegance and that streamline and mature figure? --- @How nice~@

Natsuki: But …looks can be deceiving.

-Continues

Natsuki: Her abdominal muscles are reasonably well proportioned. --- @And her gripping power is inexplicably strong ……@

Shizuru: The people there called it ‘Nioi Sumire’ in their dialect which means fragrant flower.

Natsuki: ‘Nioi Sumire’?

Shizuru: Yes.

Shizuru: The main point is that …--- the flowering term is ---

-Step

Shizuru: ‘Viola’.--- The meanings are the same for both names.

-Slip

Shizuru: @It’s useless …@--- @I can’t hold on any longer.@

Natsuki: @Ah …@

-Squeeze

Akayuki’s notes:Baka – Stupid/Idiot.Chu – Kiss.“Your (You) body and heart will be dyed in the smell and (colour) of Viola, Yo!!” – A play of words in the word ‘色’ (colour), it could mean ‘色’ as in colour or ‘色’ as in lust so Shizuru’s picking on Mai saying thumbs up on Natsuki been drenched in the smell and lust of Viola (Shizuru) LOL.

Natsuki: W-wait …--- Baka …

-Nchu--- (heart)

Natsuki: Your clothes will get wet--- …

Shizuru: It doesn’t matter~

Shizuru: By the way,--- on Mai-san’s card.

*Your (You) body and heart will be--- dyed in the smell and (colour) of Viola, Yo!!*

Shizuru: That’s what she wrote (heart).

Natsuki: … Looks like I’ve got to have a little chat with her on where to draw the line. --- @For the sake of my waist.@

Natsuki: But, to use this to wash my body,--- feels like it will really dye me in purple colour. --- @In any meanings of ‘colour’…@

Shizuru: That sounds good …

Shizuru: But, is it no good by adding me into the equation?

-Chu

Natsuki: It’s not that … that it’s not good.@It’s not good for you to wait for me in your drenched clothes, you will feel uncomfortable too, right.@

Shizuru: Well then, let me help you wash every single part of your body (heart).@I will definitely dye you beautifully!!@

Shizuru: @Fufu@--- It feels like we’re back in our school days (heart).

Natsuki: …Your expression is slacking too much, Shizuru.

Shizuru: Ara, you’re not calling me ‘Onee-sama’?--- Na-tsu-ki-sa-n.

Natsuki: Yes, yes.--- Onee-sama, Onee-sama.

*It was said that the sense of smell --- has a direct link with a person’s memory.*

-Clang

-Splash …

*Everything flowed as per to Mai’s expectations.*

*Honestly speaking, it’s not amusing at all.*

Natsuki: Probably…from now onwards--- whenever I catch a whiff of this fragrance.

Shizuru: @Natsuki and I smell so good--- (heart)@

Natsuki: I will remember all of …--- this.--- @Like this kind of situation or the other kind.@

@In high-spirits.@

*Meanwhile at Nekokami Yama*

Mai: … If I call this ‘Viola Soap’ I wonder if I can sell it to the fans of Shizuru-san. --- @This.@

Mai: @Maybe I should try selling it in the black market first.@

*Such strong commercial spirit!@

I don’t know what possessed me, many things happened during December and I can’t seem to accomplish anything … I have no idea why it then became this kind of book, for that, I’m sorry. The copy for Summer Comi is also not the complete version … I will think of a solution in the next year (sweats). Can’t get myself to do up a book with solid contents, it is also due to me being in the slumps … (Cries). To all who have been patiently waiting (If there are any), I’m really sorry. (Panda Crying) Uwawa …again and again. Just to let you know, I still like ShizNatsu a lot … T-then why am I sketching Yomi!? This season, I was hooked by Ga-Rei -Zero- (Bitter Laughter) ... I-I will be better in the next year!!

I wish everyone a happy new year~~~2008.12.28

-END of Script-

Well, many things are on my mind right now ... but I've got to relax once in a while ... sometimes I wish I had returned back faster or in June, perhaps this matter could had been avoided or ... lessen. Oh well.

One could say nearly the Shizuru with a piece of soap Natsuki enticed XDThe wordplays make not quite easily to understand. But now thanks to your explanation something becomes clearer to me. As well as I have read it in the summary from doropanda we can hope for the other from Shizuru & Natsuki? To many thanks for your work.^^
